THE TENNESSEE MIDLAND.

Col. Josiah Patterson, of Memphis,
the representative of the Tennessee
Midland Railroad, has been in Nash
vile several days in the interest of
this road. In an interview with an
American reporter, Col. Patterson
gave the route selected for the road
as follows:
~ can describe it so that any citi-
zen of Davidson County can under
stand it and trace it on the map. 1t
begins at Memphis, thence to Somer-
vile in Fayette County, thence to
Whiteville in Hardeman County,
thence to Jackson in Madison County,
thence to Lexington in Henderson
County, thence to Perryville in De-
catur County, thence across the Ten
nessee River to Linden in Perry
County, thence to Centreville in Hick-
man County, thence through the
western part Of Williamson to Nash
vile in Davidson County, thence
through the northern part of Ruther-
ford, along the waters of Stones River
to Woodbury. in Cannon County,
thence to Rock Island in Warren
County, thence along tie waters of
Caney Fork, nea the county line
between White and Van Buren, Coun-
ties to the head waters of Obed River
in Cumberland County, thence down
Obed River and Emory River,
through Emory Gap to the East Ten
nessee Valley, and thence through
Anderson, Union and Hancock Coun-
ties up the valley of the Clinch to the
point where the Virginia State line
crosses the Clinch River. This de-
scription shows the general direction
and line of the road through the
State. 1t is direct except where il
DIVORCES to come to Nashville. This
our chief engineer adopts as the mos
practicableroute over the Cumberland
Mountains. He is instructed to adOp'
a route where the grades will not ex
coed ffty-two and eight-tenths feet t.
the mile. 1t would be a waste o
money to build such a road on high
grades"
The route described above will
bring the road within ten or twelve
miles of McMinnville, and by a pro
per effort on the part of our people il
is reasonable to hope hat the roac
can be brought to McMinnvile. A
feasible route can be secured for thi
purpose which will not lengthen t.
road more than three or four miles
From the interest now being mani
tested by our business men and cap
italists we are fully persuaded tina
McMinnville will extend the roa(
sufficient aid to more than over
come this extra cost, and the increas
ed traffic, both freight and passen
ger, which the road will receive b,
running through McMinnville, will
well repay them for the slight diver
gence Of route.

AS THE New Era editors seem to
be hungering and thirsting for some

we commend to their careful consid-
GRAFTON the letter of Hon. John A.
Martin, Governor of Kansas, and the
article from Rev. JOS. Cooke, of Bos-
ton, both of which will be found on
other pages of this paper. These
two articles alone contain sufficient
argument to c~onfound all of the Era's

THE STANDARD abandoned agri-
culture as its leading distinctive fea-
ture more than two years ago and
made due announcement of the
change at the time. Since that time
the STANDARD has been the recog-
nized leading Democratic newspaper
of this section, which fact is tacitly
admitted by certain alleged newspa'
per men through their occasional
jealous mutterings against us. The
STANDARD continues to devote con.
siderable space to agricultural mat
tiers, recognizing in that pursuit the
bedrock of all other industries and
enterprises.

PRAIRIE and forest fires have been
very destructive of property in the

Wisconsin Tuesday night, and check

THE Ohio Democracy, in their late
convention, declared in favor of sub
hitting a constitutional prohibitory
amendment to the people. Such &C.
tions as this show very plainly the
general uprising all over the country
against whisky. The prohibition
sentiment is receiving recognition at
the hands of both political parties
all over the country. 1t may take
years yet to dethrone the monster but
whisky rule is doomed.

JUST what connection Mr.: Smiths
statement that eff prohibition was
left to the towns it would be adopted
by an overwhelming majority" has
with the town patronage of the STAN
DARD, we are unable to divine. 1t
is naturally a little CALLING for the
Era to have to admit that the STAN
DARD has outstripped it in both
town and county patronage, so we
are not surprised that it should get
things a little mixed under these cir
cumstances.

THE
Weekly American,
-+Cash Premiums to Agents.

In order to stimulate effort on the part of
agents, at this leisure season of the year, to
extend the circulation of the WEEKLY
AMERICAN, the management has deter.
mined to offer one hundred and twenty cash
premiums to persons who will engage in the
work. 1t is hoped and believed that the
liberal amounts offered will cause an indus.
trious rivalry throughout contiguous Sec
tons, and many thousands be induced to
take the paper who have not hitherto re-
ceived it. Not merely our regular agents
are invited to engage in this competition,
but all persons whatsoever who see proper
to contend for the premiums offered. A
book will be'opened in which every agent
will be credited with each name sent, be-.
ginning July 10, 1887, until Nov. !, 1887, at
whice time the awards will be made accord.

EVERYBODY recognizes theright of
national, state, county and municipal
governments to tax and regulate the
liquor traffic to a degree that would
not be tolerated by the people in any
other branch of business. If it is just
and proper to outlaw this business by
taxation, why isn't it just as proper
to prohibit it altogether? Some wag
has said that the best place to cut of
a dogs tail is just behind his ears.
The same principle holds good in the
regulation of the whisky traffic.

We are real sorry for the Standard.
Though it never has represented the

believe it WouId, if the dear people
would only express their views first.
New Era.
If we waited every time, as is the
Erals plan, till the people express
themselves, simply for the sake of
getting on the popular side, the in
fuence and usefulness of the STAN
DARD would soon pass away, as that
of the "old reliable" has already
done. A newspaper that simply
chimes in with public opinion is like
a base drum in a brass band, it makes
considerable noise but requires little
skill or mental capacity to manipu-
late it. Such a paper has but slight
weight either for or against the cause
it advocates, and renders its patrons
no aid whatever in reaching their
conclusions upon any question. 1t is
the province of a newspaper to mould
public opinion, not merely to express
the verdict after the people have
made their decision. Its work is
rather of a pioneer nature. Its duty
is to discover the right and wrong of
aquestion, toadvocate the former with
zeal and earnestness, and expose and
denounce the latter in the same spir-
it. A paper which honestly and con-
scientiously pursues this course will
always win the approval and admira-
ton Of those whose opinions its re-
fleets, and command the respect OF
its opponents. The STANDARD wish
es to win no feeting shadows of sue
cess by simply toadying to the popu-
lar majority, without regard to hon.
est conviction. The STANDARD has
always z~ealously advocated those
measures which we honestly conceiv.
ed to be for the best interests of the
whole people, and supported the men
we honestly thought best fitted fol
public servants, availability of mate
rial being considered. Having sur.
passed our neighbOr in both town and
county patronage by a strict pursuit
of this course, we are satisfied with
this endorsement of the STANDARD
as the representative paper of War
rem county. We took our position
for prohibition at a time when W.
were fully aware of the fact that {
majority of the people of Warner
county were against the amendment
without stopping for a moment t
consider whether it would increase 0
decrease the patronage of the paper
We would rather fall in advocat
! ing what we honestly conceive to b.
right, than to gain any degree of sue
cess by advocating what we though
, to be wrong, simply for the sake G
, being with the majority. We woul,
rather stand with a minority in tn
f right, than with the majority in tn
wrong. We are not ashamed of an.
, Of the STANDARDS past position
or work, and the patronage the pape
has always received under il
: present management is sufficier
: guarantee that our efforts have bee
appreciated.

Mr.. BARTON swelled to gigantic
proportions in his wrath, and explod-
ed his v%ituperation through the col
of the Era last week without in
the slightest degree disturbing our
equilibrium. We are real glad that
the Era found room to publish his
article from the Chattanooga Times,
together with his own eulogy upon
it, as we were a little afraid some of
our local readers might think we had
criticised him rather harshly. Now
all who read both his article and our
criticism a readily see that we were
very lenient with our well meaning
but sadly misguided brother. 1t is a
real pity for Mr.. Barton that the bal
ance of the world can't look at his
brilliant productions in the same light
that he does, and it is sad indeed that
he did not learn long ago that people
who rush into public print must ex-
pect to have their vanity punctured
occasionally. The whisky men grab
at all such campaign literature as Nj.
Barton's article furnishes with as
much avidity as drowning men catch
at straws. We admit that it is a very
weak argument for them, and grant
ing thatinithetakes "no position pro

the article is plainly indicative OF
which side his sympathies are with.
